Óbuda University - OE (reviews)

Overall a good universit, even though some of the courses might seem too easy/unserious.

The professors are mostly kind and very helpful except a few, the labs are well kept and modern enough. The program is OK and should be enough to prepare you for industry!

The Informatics campus is in a good location 1 minute away from tram stops.

Campus life however is almost inexistant and could be improved! Perhaps its different in other campuses but that’s how it felt in the informatics campus.

I would recommned, even though it might seem a bit expensive to study here but a scholarship is possible

What I love most about the university is its diversity. This diversity allowed students to share knowledge from different perspectives. I had classmates from 5 continents, and 10 countries. I disliked how international students were distanced from many social events and had little interaction with Hungarian students. I would recommend the MSc in Architecture course at Obuda University.

I was an Erasmus Student at this University(Banky faculty) in spring semester 19/20. It was the worst Erasmus ever.
Only 4/9 subjects which I choose in my Learning Agreement existed in the Neptun system( which is compulsory for every student). So I had only 8/30 ECTS in the first week.
Firstly, the coordinators answered my e-mails, but it wasn’t so useful, because they only said: “everything is good don’t mind we will fix it”. (If you try to choose another subject from the “subjects list for Erasmus student” (which is on official page) be ready, that 85% of subjects don’t exist in Neptun or don’t have any places for you. ) After 10000 e-mails with asking for help, they stopped responding to me.
It was already the end of the second week of studying when I realize that nothing will change and I couldn’t reach the necessary 30ECTS. I had to return to my home Uni not to miss this semester.
I don’t know who is responsible for this situation and I don’t wish anyone to be in my place.
So… if you want to spoil your Erasmus, waste money, time and Nerves then go to Obuda University.

The University of Óbuda provides basically quite practical training on many subjects (of course, this does not mean that there is no need to study theoretical parts), but fortunately several teachers share the view that not the book/note should be cut from a to z, but in which book/note we provide the answer to our question. From an engineering point of view, I think this is especially important, much more of a generalist approach to many teachers than the rigor of the curriculum (of course, there are exceptions, of course, that somehow have to be overcome). It is also an advantage in the labor market, and you may feel a bit more well-off when you first encounter real problems after seemingly a little crafted, unnecessary laboratory practice. You will probably find that even if the particular lab task did not resemble real problems, it helped a lot in developing the unconscious approach.
In terms of accessibility and dormitories, both sites (Józsefváros and Óbuda) are ideally located. However, infrastructure improvements are still needed, as in some cases, laboratory equipment is slightly outdated (say, they also improve the level of problem-solving to some degree), but there are many unique or rare measuring equipment in the country, such as found elsewhere in specialized research laboratories. This is why industry often orders measurements from the university, in which students can participate at some level, thus increasing their knowledge of current trends, projects, and needs of the industry.
If you are good at using the strap and can be quite persistent, it may not be too much of a strain if you need to, and there is a good chance of getting quite a good amount of scholarships. There are also some professional development associations and dormitories at the university where the interested parties can acquire even more specific practical knowledge (eg circuit design, device construction).
The fact that after a long hesitation I finally chose OE, I did not regret it at all. I had many great teachers and fellow students during my years here, some of whom I have been in contact with ever since. Many of my classmates work in big-name companies in development engineers and similar positions, and I hear feedback from them many times that they have benefited greatly from the knowledge they have acquired at the university, not just because of the curriculum.
